After lots of effort involving breeding, IV selection and leveling painfully to 50 via pkmn league I finally defeated the Battle mansion single train (20consec battles). The most painful part was breeding with pokemon that did not like each other and then leveling to 50 took several completing rounds of the pokemon league which was almost all day. After that, getting lucky with the pokemon you faced to streak 20 did make a difference. The amount of times I lost at 17,18,19 was a lot. If the boss starts off with Purugly you will have a hard time! Mega Lucario with almost max speed IV was not able to outrun Purugly. The first attack of Purugly is hypnosis. I was luckily able to survive 3 turns , woke up and then Close combat to one shot the poke. One shot Wigglytuff because its very slow but Grumpig took 2 turns which was okay, i had 2 other fast pokes waiting to fight.

In future, you should get into the habit of using the Battle Chateau, and perhaps use the E4 while waiting for it to regenerate after defeating everyone there at the time. With the Black Writ of Challenge, a Lucky Egg, the Exp-boosting power, and the presence of high-level Audino teams, you can get heaps of experience in a relatively short time. The other Marquis/Marchioness/Duke/Duchess trainers give a lot of experience, and Diantha will give a lot, too, when she shows up.

Restaurant Le Wow works even better with a Lucky Egg(s) & Exp. Power Lv3 which lasts through all 5 battles regardless of the time it takes to finish.

Actually, Pluck is missed, because not everybody gets Acrobatics, Drill Peck or Brave Bird(see Choice Band Archeops, Unfezant). It also gave Rattata and Bidoof Flying coverage for in-game.

Work Up is also missed because it was a near universal TM that allowed for Pokémon with no stat boosting options to gain a stat booster. It wasn't useful competitively, but it was good in-game, like Pluck.

Ally Switch is actually more accessible now, and Telekinesis should be accessible as a Move Tutor two years later along with Dive. So they aren't exactly missed even if Telekinesis is a fun doubles gimmick that needs to be buffed a bit to be used seriously.

This is Turtwig, he was the most under appreciatted starter in Diamond & Pearl. If you picked Turtwig as your starter, put this in your sig . Started by Dax-360

If you saved a Battle Video, do Mock Battles with Imposter Ditto and Frisk anything to record full movesets and items.

That is a good idea. I'll have to save the record next time I get to 20. Will need to fiddle around with my choice scraf so I can knock out that Primeape before it it one shots my pokes.

Take 2 of Battle mansion Doubles. Choice Scarf to Chandelure, was able to strike first and took out the OP Primeape. After that just used Mega Lucario to wipe out everyone with Close combat. Had 3/4 of team standing.

I found something. I was trying to get a scope lens, on the itemdex it just says Lumiose City (very specific, like saying it's in Hoenn when playing RSE :P). Going to lumiose city's pokearth page gave me more though, shutterbug cafe. However, some googling found me the following: you need to have a specific number of photo's, to get certain items. Apparently:
Wide Lens (1-14 Photos)
Scope Lens (15-29 Photos)
Zoom Lens (30+ )
Currently testing this. Already had the wide lens and 13 photo's. Will edit this post to confirm it.

EDIT: I can confirm 15 photo's gets you the Scope Lens
EDIT2: 29 photo's doesn't yield anything, one more to go...
EDIT3: 30 gets you a Zoom Lens. The guy now says: "You've totally gone beyond a pro like me". so I figure that's it.
The Zoom Lens item isn't listed in the itemdex, nor pokearth. Guess I really discovered something Well google helped, I should give credit to this, where I found it: http://www.marriland.com/forums/poke...39-photo-spots

For those wondering, I just flew to Anistar and took a couple of pictures in a row, checked back at 20, 25 and 29. So it doesn't need to be different spots. I did already have a photo of every spot though.

Pluck is not a miss for anybody unless a gimmicky because there's Aerial Ace, which has --% accuracy and it's available to all of Pluck users (at least, the ones who are playable in a tier).

Work Up is the only a bit problematic because even though it's not exactly great, it was learned from all of Normal anmd Fighting Pokemon.

The other two are a negligle loss for competitive, even in doubles given his distribution of the former, and utility of the latter.

About the returning TMs:
Roost is one of the missign TM from Gen IV. Same with Sleep Talk (specially because sleep is back to Gen IV mechanics) and Dark Pulse.
I'm surprised woith Steel Wing because I expected Iron Tail more And I am very surprised of Dragon Pulse not returning.
Infestation is there to showcase something new.

In general, this gen is apart of the gen woith less pokemon, it's the gen with less moves. And in damaging moves, or there are Fairy type, gimmicky, or nothing. And the TM list is similar: 4 returning TMs and 4 new TMs.

The last TM 100 is a new move learned Confide which I'm surprised that this hasn't got anything in Smogonń As a move, makes the oponnent lower the Special Attack. You aren't going to use a move for that, but has another effect removes the ability of the target. In some case, makes the pokemon unusable and forces switches. And the best part: it's an universal TM.

Note: I decided to not post post that had cause hate to me anymore. If you see one, please PM me and I will delete the moment I'm aware and I'm online.
I need to take a break in the anime forum because these forum bored me.

My program focuses on breeders looking to get and give culled stock to help other breeders get going. If you are a new breeder, just ask and I'll give you some of the slightly lower grade stuff for free. I am still new myself, so my inventor is still limited (I also work full time).

Just saw something really odd happen.. I was battling in ranked online and a Garchomp used substitute, but my attack went right through and KO'ed him... I was using a Volcarona with focus sash and flame body ability, and I attacked with bug buzz. Does this attack ignore substitute or something? I tried searching google about this and found nothing. Maybe I'm just missing something?

Here's the replay if anyone is interested: RG2W-WWWW-WWW2-R6Y4

All sound attacks and attacks from Pokémon with the Infiltrator Ability pass through Substitutes now.

I think it should be noted that when the Battle Chantelaines show up in the Multi Battle challenge, the game randomly picks two of the four to fight you, on top of choosing two of their Pokemon at random, as well.

I readed something that kinda confirms what I was thinking about: the IV spread of the next egg is setted even before you left the pokémon with the daycare.

Let´s say you save in front the daycare and them give her 2 pokémon, one of them with destiny knot. Then, the egg hatches and you check the IV spreads: HP, Attack and Defense from dad, SP Attack and SP def from mother, and a random Speed.

If you reset and left ANY pokémon there, the spread will be the same. If you use a dad with perfect HP, ATT and DEF, and a mother with perfect SP Att and SP Def, you wil get a 31/31/31/31/31/x offspring. I believe if one of them has 31 Spe and a Power Anklet, you can have a perfect IV mon!

Looking For:
Pokemon: Pikachu/Pichu
Shiny: No
Nature: Timid, Adament or some other decent nature
Hidden Ability: Not necessary, but obviously would be nice
Egg Moves: Volt Tackle
IV's: Preferably decent
I can trade exclusives from both games and a level 50 Garchomp with Dragon Claw and Dig, holding a Dragon Fang

Rattatta learned pluck? I do miss that move.

I MM'd a shiny shinx only 39 eggs, no shiny charm/o power! 3/9/2015

Can breed a lot of pokemon, I have POKERUS, lot of HA pokes, PM me if you are willing to trade.
